Yakuza: Transmutations

by Scott on November 27th, 2007

yakuza.jpgYakuza is not for everybody. Let’s start with that. Not traditional metal, Yakuza bring their own form and function from the windy city of Chicago. Let me elaborate…

Take a little bit of Mushroomhead, add some Ziggy Stardust, a pinch of jazz and a whole can of Whoop-ass and you have Yakuza. A saxophone, bass clarinet, a moog and a sakuhachi in a metal band. WTF is a moog and sakuhachi…google it!

I told you they were different…but wait. Different in a good way. Every song on Transmutations can go from moderate to stampede in the drop of a dime. You can be relaxing to the beat one second and putting your fist through a wall the next! It’s simply amazing!
You may already know Yakuza, but if you don’t then once you listen you will never forget them! Once again Prosthetic records brings you a truly awesome band. Surely there will be hateful people saying that this isn’t “Real” metal …but honestly? What is REAL metal these days?

Yakuza Is:
Matt McClelland- Guitar/Vocals
John E. Bohmer- Bass, Vocals, Moog
Bruce Lamont- Vocals, Sax, Bass clarinet
James Staffel- Drums, Percussion, Shakuhachi

Original Release Date: August 7, 2007
